Viral Coinfection is Associated with Improved Outcomes in Emergency Department Patients with SARS-CoV-2
Introduction: Coinfection with severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and another virus may influence the clinical trajectory of emergency department (ED) patients. However, little empirical data exists on the clinical outcomes of coinfection with SARS-CoV-2 Methods: In this re...

To investigate the association between coinfection status with each of the outcomes, we performed logistic regression. Results: Of 6,913 ED patients, 5.7% had coinfection.
